Police say Cierre Wood was charged with murder on Thursday after 5-year-old La-Rayah Davis allegedly died as a result of child abuse.

Taylor alleges she and her daughter were walking near a school on April 9 when La-Rayah threw a tantrum and bit her mother on the hand.

Documents say Taylor spanked her daughter and made her stand in a corner at home. But, the mother also allegedly admitted to sitting on her daughter's chest and stomach as punishment sometimes, resulting in La-Rayah complaining of chest pain.

Wood called 911 when he became concerned about La-Rayah's appearance, telling Taylor "something is not okay," the documents state.

When emergency responders reached the couple's home, they found La-Rayah "cold and stiff." She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

KTNV reports that doctors found several injuries to the child, including bruises on multiple parts of her body. La-Rayah also had an elevated white blood cell count, a distended abdomen, a lump on her forehead, a possible bite mark, and blood in her underwear.

Wood and Taylor were initially charged with child abuse and neglect, but both are now facing murder charges.
